Antenna Connector
Figure 1-1: Front Panel
• Antenna Connector—This is the radio's receive and transmit port. The
device works with most cellular antennas with an SMA connector.
The antenna should not exceed the maximum gain specified in
siderations on page 35. In more complex installations (such as those requiring
long lengths of cable and/or multiple connections), you must follow the maxi-
mum dBi gain guidelines specified by the radio communications regulations of
the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) or Industry Canada or your
country's regulatory body (if used outside the US)
• LEDs—These show the device's operating status. Each LED can be red,
green, yellow or off. The LEDs are described in detail in
page 25. They are:
· Network—When green the device is connected to a cellular network with
an IP address assigned and a channel acquired.
· Signal—When green it is receiving a cellular signal.
· Activity—When green, the radio link is active.
· Power—When green, the device is connected to power.
• Ethernet Connector—This RJ-45 connector connects a standard Ethernet
cable to the device. This is used to connect a PC to the device for configu-
ration and diagnostic purposes or attaching Ethernet equipment to the device.
• GPS/Diversity Antenna Connector—This connects an optional GPS
antenna to the device. It works with most antennas that have an SMA
connector. It also can be used as an auxiliary receive port for wireless
communications.
Note: This port is receive only, it does not transmit.
